Dignity of Man
1 Peter 2:17
Honor all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.


M. Boudon, an eminent surgeon, was one day sent for by the Cardinal du Bois, prime minister of France, to perform a very serious operation upon him. The cardinal, on seeing him enter the room, said to him, "You must not expect to treat me in the same rough manner you treat your poor miserable wretches at your hospital of the Hotel Dieu." "My lord," replied M. Boudon with great dignity, "every one of those miserable wretches, as your Eminence is pleased to call them, is a prime minister in my eyes."

(J. Percy.)
